Would it be possible to set up a new forum area for technical matters please. In the past, there have been quite detailed discussions of things like CSS, Soap and SQL which make sense to forum readers who work in Information Technology, but would go over the heads of others.The intention is that such postings would be in the new area only.

One of the first things I would like to contribute would be an elaboration of the SQL that Jon Griffiths has put into the Membership List Online thread. Other things to be added could be any technical questions or comments on any chess software or website development.

I dont mind if the area is called something boring like "Technical Area", or something imaginative like "Geek's Corner" or something in between.

I have used WSDL and SOAP a lot recently, although I have always found it flaky and have not yet found a clean implementation. Any suggestions gratefully received. However please wait until the new area is setup by Carl, as any answers here could be regarded as off-topic for this thread.

There is always .NET (my real job) but it makes the hosting far more expensive and of course SQL server is your main choice
